ALBERT NEWMAN.

    ALBERT NEWMAN, who is now serving his second term as county clerk of Shawnee
County, is one of the most efficient officers the county has ever had and is
exceedingly popular, not only in his own party, but among that class of
independents who recognize and commend merit wherever they find it. He has been
a prominent citizen of Topeka during the past decade, and has been especially
prominent in political circles, being one of the local leaders of the Republican
party.

    Mr. Newman was born at Falls City, Nebraska, September 3, 1873, and is one
of a family of five children born to M. J. and Rachel (Marks) Newman. He was
reared and educated at Omaha, Nebraska, and has been a resident of Topeka since
1894. He attained success as manager of both opera houses in this city, a
position he held for a number of years. During the years of 1899 and 1900 he was
secretary of the Republican County Central Committee, and in 1901 was elected
county clerk on the Republican ticket by a majority of 3,780 over his opponent,
P. H. Miller. His increasing popularity was attested in 1904 when he was
reelected by a majority of 5,043, a silent tribute to his efficiency as a public
servant.

    On April 5, 1898, Mr. Newman was joined in marriage with Sadie Snadtinger,
by whom he has a son, Victor. Fraternally he is a Mason of the 32nd degree, a
member of the Scottish Rite, and a member of the Modern Woodmen of America. He
is also treasurer of the First District Congressional Committee. Mr. Newman
resides with his family in a pleasant home at No. 923 Monroe street.
